I rotated my tires and now there is a vibration on the right side it feels like. It only happens at low speeds like top of 2nd gear and bottom of third (shifting at 3000rpms). Could it just be uneven tread or......?

 

Bent rim would cause a bump, or unbalanced maybe?

 

it usually happens when im slowing down too. with or with out brakes

 

Bad belt, bent rim, lug nuts on backwards (open ones), ect... Could be a variety of things.

 

warped rotor, front bushings, it literally does go on and on...

 

the tire was unevenly wore. this sounds stupid but a long burn out fixed it

 

just curious how the hell could you put a lug nut on backwards? it would just fall off (the open ended ones)

 

Lug nuts are just that - nuts. You can put a nut on either way (with a couple TYPES of nuts being exception). Lug nuts are either open or capped. It is easy to put a Lug nut on backwards. People and shops alike seem to do it and typically end up losing a tire down the road or at least they loosen up.

If you put a lug nut on backwards and it falls off then it would fall off the right way too, haha. If you meant they would back themselves off over time, then Yes you're right. Either way it's not going to just happen as soon as you move two feet or put the wheels on the ground.

 

If it started immediatly after the rotation then you probably have an unbalanced wheel.
